Landscape evolution visualization

[LeJackY]

Hi, I'm glad to show you a few screenshots of my research project into a French lab.

The main goal of the project is to visualize evolution of the landscape.
First, to achieve this goal, the software get Land-Use data, DEM, ortho-photo and other vector data (like edge) from a GIS.
I've developed a plug-in into a GIS to manage this step.

Secondly, the user can apply texture with different resolution and add vegetation (or any 3D models) to each land-use type by specifying density, spatialization (random, line ...), the LOD...

The software computes splatting map and geometry pages for visualize data in real time.

The user can travel into landscape, take high-polygonal screenshot (self-shadows, high quality meshes…) or record a movie for assessing his landscape evolution scenario.

Libs used are
- Ogre (of course)
- Qt
- Caelum for skys/clouds
- Paged Geometry
- GDAL (for r/w gis data)
- Libnoise
- QGIS

Thanks Ogre community !!

Here are some screenshots :

Really impressive, and very cool project.

Chapeau

Nice work!
Did you plan any source code release for the DEM data import part ?

PS: Funny nickname ^^

Thanks !
If my lab is ok i will release the source code soon (at least the qgis plugin)
I added a video

Wow!

Couple of questions: Can you export the landscape generated into a 3D format? And, where do you obtain these orthographic landscape maps?

Cheers!

Check this link for resources.
I recommend nasa's ftp

Please, don't hijack the topic

Very nice work!

i like it and nice work.

Seems that you couldn't get permission to release the source code? I have a need for a same kind of tool, but I have pretty little experience with gis software.

Can you point some resources for plugin writing?

wow.

just one word.

wow.

That is sick
Great job!
